Only one of the very few Indigenous men who were accepted into this legendary unit. Billy sees action at Gallipoli, where he quickly develops into the ANZAC's top sniper and soon begins to challenge the best of the Turkish snipers in one-to-one combat. Mentally traumatised by the loss of his mates in the charge of the Light Horsemen at the Nek, Billy turns into a cold-blooded killer and extracts a fearsome toll on his Turkish foes.
